First off, yes, I've given to causes for the troops. I'm not rich, but I do what little I can along with many other FReepers here. If they HAVE done something for the troops besides talk, I'll be among the first to thank them. Our military is our backbone and we can never do enough for these fine people. Sir, please don't think I'm condemning their ad - it's wonderful. All I'm saying is we need more than talk, we need action. Our troops deserve nothing but the best and if I had the money these people do, I'd be pouring it into our heroes and their beautiful families. I'm sure most on FR would do as much. Just saying I'm grateful just isn't enough. And condemning hezbollah isn't enough. If you feel strongly about something, DO something!
I haven't heard Cher say much about the war, but she's fighting for better helmets for our troops. That tells me a lot more about her than some "ad" ever could!
Got a link for that? I'd like to thank her.
A friend of mine, who is no kind of celebrity, knows Cher. He says she is the most nice, down to earth person you'd want to meet, with no star complex. He also says that in contrast to her stage appearance she's only about 5"3" tall.
